Los Alamitos shifts Los Angeles Stakes to April 16

Los Alamitos has amended the date of the $100,000 Los Angeles Stakes for sprinters, moving the race forward by one day to April 16.

The April 16 program, the first Saturday of the 12-day meeting, will now have two stakes, including the $100,000 Bertrando Stakes for California-breds at a mile. Because of the change, there are no stakes scheduled for April 17.

The meeting runs from April 14 to May 1.

The Grade 3 Los Angeles Stakes is run at 5 1/2 furlongs and was previously run at Hollywood Park until that track closed in 2013. The Los Angeles Stakes was run at Santa Anita in 2014 and 2015.
